Welcome to the KANOTIX Documentation Wiki

This Wiki is available for all KANOTIX users to read and contribute to. We hope over time, the KANOTIX documentation Wiki will grow and evolve with the project. Documentation is vitally important to the project, and with this in mind there are some rules for contributing to the Wiki that you need to read before contributing.

Adding to our documentation Wiki is the best way to give back to the project. We welcome contributions from users of all abilities, our documentation has to cater for both new and experienced users. A few hours of your time here could save literally thousands of hours for other people thanks to the huge user database KANOTIX enjoys.

Writing Articles in the Wiki

In general, the KANOTIX Documentation Team has created a defined structure for the documentation on the site and it should not be modified. We invite you to add new pages, edit existing articles but request you follow the current structure of the site. It's important you don't create 'orphaned pages,' every page you create must be linked within the existing structure.
